Story highlights

Some sitting members of Congress pulled their support for Trump entirely in the wake of his 2005 comments

Some said they wanted Trump to step aside so Pence can lead the ticket

Washington (CNN)Republican elected officials and party elders lined up Saturday to denounce Donald Trump's incendiary remarks about women that he made in 2005. Some sitting members of Congress pulled their support entirely, while others blasted the remarks but continued supporting the GOP standard-bearer. Some said they wanted Trump to step aside so that his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, can lead the ticket.

Pulling support entirely

Some party members who were lukewarm on Trump ran away from the nominee shortly after the comments came to light.

Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo

Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, who is up for reelection, on Saturday became the first sitting Republican senator to back away from Trump following the incendiary comments. "This is not a decision that I have reached lightly, but his pattern of behavior has left me no choice. His repeated actions and comments toward women have been disrespectful, profane and demeaning."

Arizona Sen. and former Republican Party nominee John McCain, who is up for reelection, said Trump's behavior "make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy."

Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared "Enough!" in a Facebook post, adding, "Donald Trump should not be President. He should withdraw."

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Trump has "forfeited the right to be our party's nominee."

Maine Sen. Susan Collins

Maine Sen. Susan Collins, who had said after the Republican National Convention that she would not support Trump, reiterated her stance that she is "still not voting for Hillary, and still plans to write in someone."

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley

Alabama's Republican governor, Robert Bentley, said in a statement he "cannot and will not vote for Donald Trump."

Alabama Rep. Martha Roby

In the House, Alabama Rep. Martha Roby said Saturday she will not vote for him and that he should step aside. Roby is from a safe district and is often featuring in GOP family friendly initiatives.

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman

Ohio Sen. Rob Portman issued a statement Saturday night in which he pulled his support and said he would instead vote for Pence.

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert on Friday became the first sitting Republican governor to withdraw his vote over the comments, which he called "offensive and despicable."

Ignoring Trump going forward

House Speaker Paul Ryan

House Speaker Paul Ryan told Republicans Monday he will no longer defend Trump -- and will instead use the next 29 days to focus on preserving his party's hold on Congress. "The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities," Ryan's spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said in a statement.

Rep. Mike Bishop

Rep. Mike Bishop, R-Michigan, said in a statement Monday that Trump was neither his first nor second choice during the Republican primary, and going forward would stop answering questions about Trump. He said in the statement: "Our families deserve a campaign that is focused on the issues, something our 2016 discussions are solely lacking this close to Election Day."

Sticking by Trump

Many Republicans, beginning on Friday night and into Saturday, slammed Trump over the remarks but either said he was preferable over Democrat Hillary Clinton or didn't address their support for him at all.

Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence

Pence said he does not "condone" Trump's remarks and "cannot defend them" but is "grateful that he has expressed remorse and apologized."

Texas Sen. John Cornyn

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate Republican, tweeted he is "disgusted by Mr Trump's words" and is "profoundly disappointed by the race to the bottom this presidential campaign has become."

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said "there is absolutely no place" for Trump's language in American society and that he "must" make a "full and unqualified apology."

Former surgeon and presidential candidate Ben Carson

Top Trump surrogate Ben Carson said "in no way do I condone Trump's behavior" but said he was "fairly certain" progressives knew about Trump's 2005 remarks but waited until now to damage his candidacy.

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise

Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise said "women deserve to be treated with respect. Period," and that Trump should make "a direct apology."

The comments DJT made are lewd & insulting. There is no excuse, and no room for such reprehensible and objectifying talk about anyone, ever.
